IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTERJVIOUIiD AND PRINT.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

'.l'o all-whom it 'may concern:

Be it known tliat I,-J AMEs S. CORYA, of Dupont, in the county ofJefferson, and State of Indiana, have invented an Improved Machine forMoulding, Printing,

'and Weighing Butter; and I'do hereby declare that the lollowing is 'afull and exact'description of the samt-, rciercnce being had to theaccompanying drawing, making part f this specification.

aThis invention'consists of a combination of the diff ferent appalatusrequisite for accomplishing the objects named iu the title, to form acompact and complete machine in itself', so that the butter may beaccurately weighed at the Sametime. that it is moulded and pressed,without removing itfrom the mould ior that purpose, .or using a.separate weiglting-apparatus.

LetAl represent the ordinary matrix ol' a huitermould, and B, a handleattached to a follower fitting snugly therein, engraved with any'appropriate design or device.

About mid-way up the handle is pivoted a'steelyardbar, -C, which isthreaded and ilattenedibr graduatimimarks ou the upper side, andtraversed by a pea, a.. 'lhe bar is provided with aloop, b, and a cordl'or suspension in weighing.

, The manncroi' using this implement is as follows:

The matrix ormould A, being open at thc bottom,

is placed upon a plate or other clean surface, and the butter pnt in atthe top. The follower or print is then pressed down upon it by the hand.The friction of the. lbllowcr will be suticicnt. to allow pf the wholebeing lift-ed by means ot' the string attached to' the barC.

' The weighing is accomplished by running the pea out on the har untilthe butter is balanced, and reading the graduations ou the upperflattened side ofi-he bar. The graduatious' ought preferably to be soar' ranged as to compensate l'or the weight oi' the apparatus, or, inother words, to be. in .balancewheu the pea stands at zero.l Should thequantity of butter be too small, more may he applied at the bottom, or,it' too much, may be removed iu like manner.

Having thus described my invention,

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire-io secure by Lei"-v The. abovespecification signed by me, thisl 1st day oi'Junc, 1869. j
